Manufacturing Ireland

Recognising the importance of the Manufacturing sector, Ibec brought together business leaders from the Ibec trade associations to discuss the challenges now and into the future and to develop an environment to allow the sector reach its full potential.

The Manufacturing Ireland Campaign, which is driven by Ibec's Irish Manufacturers Association, sets out our ambition for Ireland to have an international reputation for manufacturing across all key sectors. We believe this can be achieved through sharing best practise, developing deeper cross sectoral collaboration, choosing policies that strengthen our workforce and addressing business costs.

For Ireland to deliver on this ambition and compete on a world stage, we must address what we believe are four key areas;

1. Manufacturing for competitiveness
2. Partnering for future growth
3. Skills for the 21st century workforce
4. Factory of the future

The Irish Manufacturers Association (IMA) is an umbrella association drawing from Ibec’s Food and Drink, Pharmachemical, Medical Technology, ICT, Software, Plastics and Engineering sectors to engage with industry and government.
